Doug Wilson sure did get him for cheap. This could be Nieto's last chance to prove he belongs with the Sharks before getting passed on the depth chart by prospects ready to make the jump.

Nieto was drafted in the second round of the 2011 Draft out of Boston University. He played at BU two more years before making the Sharks in 2013-14. After a promising rookie season, Nieto has not made that next big step in his development and even experienced a regression production-wise last season. He's a small, speedy possession player that lacks the finishing tools to make him a true offensive threat in the bottom-6. He does not have a physical presence to his game, which is understandable given his size.

Sure, Nieto is more skilled than someone like Tommy Wingels or any of the plugs that have inhabited San Jose's fourth line in recent years. But aside from speed, he brings very little to the table. It's not out of the question that he gets traded to make room.

He's still just 23 years old and we've seen flashes of how impactful he can be. Next season will be crucial in determining his future with the organization.
